The Old Parlor (1913) Online
Tom returns from college and marries Jane. Their favorite place on the farm is the old parlor with its organ, rag carpet, old table and family album. They go to the city, where Tom prospers in business. Bridge parties and cigarette smoking by his wife's city friends cause a breach that constantly widens until separation is the only solution of their troubles. Jane returns home and informs her parents of her intentions. Going to the city the old father tries to bring about a reconciliation, but fails. Back home the old parents decide on a plan that they believe might bring it about. To the city they ship the old furniture the parlor. It arrives while the young couple are out and the parents install it. When Tom and Jane return prepared to divide the furniture they find a surprise; the old folks hidden, see the puzzled and amazed look over the faces of their children. Standing gazing over the old album and its photographs their hearts are drawn together. The reconciliation is complete.
